They say the discovery of this coin proves Chinese trade/sailing was far&nbsp; more advanced than European counterpart, in terms of interaction with&nbsp; East Africa.&nbsp; I just thought I&#039;d share this with yous guys.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]245914.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
